Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa

State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones

“Whoever runs for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat, one thing is clear: progressives are calling for a candidate who has a demonstrated record of taking on Wall Street and corporations in the interest of working families trying to make ends meet. We need a leader like Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, who fights for progressive solutions that benefit ALL Americans, not just the wealthy few.” said Eddie Kurtz, executive director of the California-based Courage Campaign. “We need someone who is worthy following in Barbara Boxer’s footsteps and will take the message of Sen. Elizabeth Warren to all Californians.”

"By making clear early on who they want to run, Democracy for America members in California have a unique opportunity to shape the field of potential candidates and ensure that the Golden State's next Senator is firmly rooted member of the Elizabeth Warren-wing of the Democratic Party,” explained Jim Dean, Chair, Democracy for America “Democracy for America members in California want a U.S. Senator who's ready to stand up to the powerful and fight for working families and this poll will give an early glimpse of the populist progressive front runners for this critical U.S. Senate."
